七年之痒，屁股痒
(快)七年了。做也烂了，骂也麻了，学也忘了，被欺也算了。
做也不是，不做也不行，败战一场就是了。天下老板，一个样。
朋友说，读书，毕业，做工，结婚，生子，好像是人生必经之路。她不以为然。
还有朋友说，够了，不干了。 多年后，风雨不改，原地不搬，牢骚依旧。做生不如做熟嘛！那也对。也有朋友说，七年了，和约满了，快失业了，该继续吗？ 或许，应该改做别的。
七年之痒，屁股痒。怎么办？

The SMRT Cabby
Late for work, what's new?
Took a cab, as usual.
This one was really nice. He charged me only $10 instead of what's shown on the meter, which came to be almost $12. It wasn't a lot, but it certainly made my day. :D

Internship
I really do not think too highly of the intern sitting near me.
They sleep out in the open several times a day, blast the music (can't say this is all that bad) so the entire office shares his playlist, watch anime openly so that I can hear it as well, it was really loud. My new colleauge and I shot quizzical looks at one another and shrugged our shoulders.
Today over lunch (yes, we have lunch together), he proclaimed that he needs to sleep so he could go for track & field training later in the evening. Next, he attempted to asked my colleauge if he could go off earlier for his training which starts at 5.30 pm (Work hours end at 6 pm). So my colleauge asked him how often he needs to do this. "Actually, my track & field training is everyday." I guess he was just trying his luck for he later proposed if he could leave earlier on x & y day and make up for it on a, b, c day. In any case, he didn't get it either way because it was referred "up".
I've had interns under me before from the good to the mediocre and somewhat not-so-good ones. But this one has really pushed his luck too far. Luckily, he ain't mine. I have only one remark, young, immature and haven't seen how high the sky is. In any case, after working for close to 7 years, I haven't gotton the chance to see the other end of the rainbow either.

SCAM
Imagine this, you receive a contract job offer, you jump for joy and prepare anxiously as you await that first day of work. On your first day of work, your employer tells you the "good news". We are going to convert your contract term to a permanent basis. Please sign this if you have no objections. You look at the letter. The notice period has been extended 3 times to a harrowing 3 months.
Don't you feel you have been conned? Would you take it? Btw, the above scenario actually happened.
